John Hungerford Arkwright

John Hungerford Arkwright (12 July 1833 – 25 May 1905) was Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire from 27 January 1902 to 5 December 1904,[1] and was one of the wealthiest landowners in that county.

[2] Arkwright was born at the family home, Hampton Court, near Leominster, in Herefordshire, England, on 12 July 1833.

[3] When the Leominster market hall, Grange Court, was dismantled and stored in the mid-1850s, Arkwright purchased it at auction,[4] then offered the building to the council if they would re-erect it.

[8] Arkwright's papers relating to the Hampton Court Estate are in the Herefordshire Record Office.

[2] His portrait in oil, by Frederick Samuel Beaumont in 1906, is in the collection of Herefordshire County Council.
